The other day man got ABOARD of
a train on the Detroit and Lansing
Road accompanied by his dog, and in
due course of time the baggageman
walked back into the car and said:
Mister, that dog must so into the
baggage car"
Il guess not"
''But guess he will. No dogs are
allowed to ride in passenger cars"
''Well, We'll wait and hear what the
conductor says. He is friend of
mine, and if he says the dog can't ride
here that will settle it.
1t was half an hour later before the
conductor, accompanied by the bag
gageman, got around to the man.
THAT dog must come out o. nerep'

"Because no dogs are allowed in the

window, Il shall 90 with him. My dog

The train was stopped and the dog

How to See The Mountains on The
Moon.

OF course, the first thing the observer
will wish to see will be the mountains
of the moon, for everybody has heard
of them, and the most sluggish imagin-
alton is stirred by the thought that one
can look off into the sky and behold
1.-the eternal hills" OF another planetas
solid and substantial as our own. But
the chances are that, if left to their
own guidance, ninety-nine persons out
of hundred would choose exactly the
wrong time to see these mountains.
At any rate, that is my experience with
people who have come to look at the
moon through my telescope. Unless
warned beforehand, they invariably
wait until full moon, when the flood of
sunshine poured perpendicularly upon
the face of our satellite concealS its
rugged features as effectually as if a
veil had been drawn over them. Begin
your observations with the appearance
of the narrowest crescent of the new
moon and follow it as it gradually fills,
and then YOU will see how beautifully
the advancing line of lunar sunrise
reveals the mountains. over whose
slopes and peaks it is climbing, by its
ragged and sinuous outline. The OBJ
server must keep in mind the fact that
he is looking straight down upon the
tops of the lunar mountains. 1t is like
a view from balloon, only at vast
ly greater height than any balloon has
ever attained. Even with a powerful
telescope the observer sees the moon
at an apparent distance of several hun
bred miles, while with u field glass
magnifying six diameters, the moon
appears as if forty thousand miles off.
The apparent distance with Galileo's
telescope was eight thousand miles.
Recollect how when seen from a great
height the rugosities of the earth's sur
face fatten out and disappear, and
then try to imagine how the highest
mountains on the earth would look if
you were suspended forty thousand
miles above them, and you will, per-
haps, rather wonder at the fact that
the moons mountains can be seen at
all astronomy aCith an opera GLASS;"

e7ace Monthly.

Fried Breakfast Vegetables,

Fried potatoes, hominy and mush
aside, the ordinary American break
fast is destitute of vegetables. In the
Southern and Middle states some
cooks have become acquainted with
the merits of fried and broiled to-
matoes as a breakfast dish, and some
times eggplant is SO served. As a
matter of fact vegetable properly
fried is Il great help toward an econ
omical breakfast, giving the zest called
for by languid appetite when meat
seems too substantial. A very mar
row list will allow for the change of
seasons, variety being secured by al
ternating the methods of frying; for
instance, one morning rolling the reg
etables in dry flour seasoned with salt
and pepper, and frying it in only
enough fat to prevent burning; the
next time breading it and frying it
like doughnuts; another day frying it
in batter, Summer and winter squash,
pumpkin, sugar beets, eggplant, to-
matoes, cucumbers, parsnips, oyster
plant, green corn, green and ripe to-
matoes; and boiled vegetables remain
ing from dinner, minced and warmed
with a little cream or butter. or heated
in white sauce, make an agreeable
variety for breakfast, and dispose of
portions not large enough to serve at
dinner the second time.-Juliet Corson,

PROSPECTIVE PRICE OF SUGAR.

Northwestern Grocer's Gazette: In
considering the future prices of sugar, it
is necessary to take into account the
statistics OF the European beet root crop,
which is stated to be nearly 500, 900 tons
in excess of last year. The Russian crop
is to certain extent one of unknown
proportions, and on one occasion at least
it YVES unloaded on the English market
at time when everything looked favor
able for an advance. Our export de-
nand is only for cut loaf and granulated,
and OF course heavy supply in Great
Britain shuts off all demands of sugars
of this class from the United States. A
cessation of demands from the other side
makes weak market, but prices much
below those now ruling would regulate
themselves, as some refineries would find
1t impossible to continue manufacturing,
and this of course would decrease the
supply, aud in that way the market
would be strengthened. While the.pre-
sent import duty on raw sugar is main
tanned, it is our opinion that prices will
not be lowered but a trife, in spite of
the bountiful crop of beet root, and in
fact we expect only slight fluctuations
either one way or the other. With this
removal of the duty, granulated can pro-
badly be sold to consumers in most sec
tons OF this country: as it is all over
England for about four cents pound.

A Hard Setback.

There were half a dozen of US sitting
around the depot at Verbena, Ala. ,
when an old darby, evidently just in
from the plantation after 'baccy or
groceries, hove in sight.
Now, boys" said the colonel, as we
all remarked the old man, "you keep
still and I'll scare that old niger out
of a years growth"
With that he called to Sambo and
the old man came up, DOTTED his hat,
and asked what was wanted.
I'm Gen. d. Erastus Longfellow,
and have been sent down here by the
the United States government to
look up the marriage certificates of
colored people. Have you got yours

'.N-no sah."

"N-no sah."
''What! Have you no marriage GER

Senator Henry B. Anthony of Rhode
Island used to tell a story of a police
man who recovered on a steamboat a
pocketbook which had been stolen
from the good Bishop Griswold. Il
did not want any reward" said the
policeman, land | would not have
taken anything, but | did think the
Bishop mi ght have said: %, damn it,
Smith, take So If he had just said
that l should have been satisfied"
The origin of the cheap witticism
which refers to New Jersey as "a for
eign country" ''outside the union"
ETC., is found in the fact that that state
was supposed to be the first to grant
foreigners the privilege of holding and
conveying lands within its borders
without renouncing their allegiance to
their native lands As a matter of
fact, however, New York state granted
such privileges in twenty-one instances
several years previous to the date
when New Jersey gave those to Ma
poleon Bonaparte.

The Same, with a Difference.

The women of past years wore
decollete gowns and danced the min
uet; the women of the present do like
wise, with great difference of man
ners. Stately courtesy has given place
largely to gushing etlusion. The wo-
man who is simple, natural, easy-in
short, womanly self-can only listen
and absorb the mixture of syllabub
and sense poured out by the so-called
''society women" The man who goes
from one house to another saying
pleasant things to the same people, in
the same way, and with the same
amount of truthfulness, is a repetition
of his grandfather, who did all this in
the past.

How Gold May Grow.

Mr.. Daintree found by experiment
that if a speck of gold were placed in Il
solution of the chloride the gold would
gradually grow into a small grain on
any piece of wood or cork introduced
into the liquid. In other words, the
metal contained in the chloride would
come out from its combination as ma.
tive gold and unite with the tiny speck
of pure metal which served it rs a
nucleus. 1t is not improbable that the
gold in quartz got similarly deposited
round common center, so that in the
most literal sense it may perhaps be
true Tin spite of Aristotle's dogmatic
statement to the contrary that money
grows, though very slowly. 1t is a
pleasant thought, indeed, for the poor
man to know that gold is even now
still growing. Mr.. Brough Smyth has
shown that it can be deposited nova
days in appreciate quantities within
comparatively short periods.
Bits of mineralized timber and
beams from the galleries of the older
workings in Australian mines have
been found to exhibit, under the mi
croscope, particles of gold, intermixed
through the central parts of the wood.
and this gold must, of course, have
gathered there from solution in water
during the few years thai have elapsed
since the first discovery of the precious
metal in Australia. Mr.. Uhrich SINH
larly notes that in the gold drifts
auriferous pyrites is often found in
crusting or replacing roots and twigs,
and samples of such gOld-bearing
wood, when submitted to an assay, have
yielded amounts of the pure metal vary
ing from few pennyweights to sew
eral ounces per ton. Mr.. II. A. Thorn
son further mentions q specimen of
pyrites which had gathered in the CEN
ter of an old tree-trunk, and which
yielded at the rate of as much as thirty
ounces.-Ihe COrnhiU Magazine.

Which Rules I?

The st. Paul Pioneer Press says that
great many newspapers announce, with
a visible grin, that at the recent mu-
nicipal elections in Kansas the women
voted exactly as their husbands did
and suggests that further investigation
may show that the men voted exactly
as their wives did. This recalls the
story of former Dakota legislator
named Wilbur F. Steele:
1t seems that Steele takes no stock
in woman suffrage, except when he is
obliged to. On one occasion a woman
suffrage bill was before the house and
a vote was called for. When the clerk
called Steele's name he rose with the
dignity of DemOsthenes and began &:
"Mr. Speaker. am sorry that | can
not support this bill, but" At that
moment a we'll dressed woman bent
over the gallery rail and exclaimed, in
a loud voice: "W-i-l-b-u-r He
glanced upward, then turned and said {:
"Mr. Speaker, vote aye" The wO-
man was Steele's wife.

The Logic of 1t.
Rr0ffIohorO RpfOr117pr

The logical meaning of this is that,
no matter how important the receipt
of an express package may be to cit
izen, no matter if it is matter of life
or death, or of business solvency, the
express agent, if he has any reasonable
ground for suspecting that it contains
liquor, can deliver it only at peril of
going to the wOrkhOuse under our law
He has no right to open it to satisfy
his suspicious he must hold it regard
less of the harm it may do, or take his
chances in delivering. AS liquor deal :
ers now advertise to put up their stuff
sealed and ''secure from observation, -
SO that nobody has any means of de-
termining what the packages contain,
this risk becomes a serious practical
matter for the express agent evey day.
On the other hand it must be admitted
that there is no way of making pro-
hibitiOn amount to any thing without
doing this: the law is roaring farce
when a steady stream of liquor trade
is permitted through the express COM
panies. 1t is the consequence of wrong
principals in legislation, like lies in
private life, that an endless train of
wrongs and absurdities is required to
fOrtify them.
